In this topic, you will find a step by step guide for configuring ChrisTV Professional and Standard version 4.90 and above to work correctly with your :
- Hauppauge PVR 150;
- Hauppauge PVR 250;
- Hauppauge PVR 350;
- Hauppauge PVR 500 (both tuners can be used only with ChrisTV PVR Professional);
- Hauppauge PVR USB2;
- Hauppauge HVR 1300 (analog);
You have to download and install ChrisTV version 4.90 or above from http://www.chris-tv.com/download.html
Make sure you have the latest WHQL drivers and Hauppauge MPEG Decoders for your TV card from the manufacturer webpage : Hauppauge Computer Works, Inc.
Step by step configuration :
1. Run ChrisTV Configuration Wizard.
2. Choose capture device : "TV Card (with analog TV Tuner)" and click Next button.
3. Choose :
- TV Card Type : choose your TV card model from the list;
- MPEG Video Decoder : InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder for Hauppauge or Cyberlink Video Decoder
- MPEG Audio Decoder : InterVideo NonCSS Audio Decoder for Hauppauge or Cyberlink Audio Decoder
click Next button.
4. Choose correctly :
- Video Capture Source : your TV card capture devicename.
- Audio Capture Source : your sound card.
- Sound Playback input : Wave
- Sound Record Input : doesn't matter.
click Next button.
5. Leave default values and click Next button.
6. Choose your Country and Language and leave the other settings to default values and click Next button.
P.S. : For some countries the sound and video could not work correctly because the TV Cable providers don't use the official country Video Standard for the channels that they provide. For example Romania has PAL DK and some providers are using PAL-BG (like Germany) for their channels. So you'll have to change the country to other value.
Also, in ChrisTV you can enable Live Preview Mode (bypass MPEG Hardware Encoder) :
1. Go to Program Settings->MPEG HW Encoding
2. Enable "Use live preview mode..." and "Force audio output..."
3. Restart ChrisTV.
P.S. LivePreview mode is not supported for Hauppauge PVR USB2.
Using this mode you will have low CPU usage and you can use deinterlace filter and ffdshow filter to improve image quality (in this mode you don't need MPEG2 decoders).
If you have sound problems, you should Enable in Program Settings->Driver Settings->Advanced :
1. Use alternative channel frequency setting ( for some TV Cards)
2. Use special frequency tunning (for some TV Cards - MSI TV@nywhere)
And restart.
